Katrina Harper

Professional Supervision and Counselling

With more than 30 years of primary care experience, I've worked in diverse settings across Aotearoa and internationally as a GP and counsellor.

As a health practitioner, I have always approached health and wellbeing from a holistic perspective.  I believe that creating a secure, encouraging space helps people reflect, become more self-aware, and explore fresh possibilities for personal growth.
